We are featuring a theme of the week on a monthly rotating basis to help you select which posts you’d like to share on the link-up. These themes are suggested: If you have something on your heart that you really want to share, feel free! However, if you haven’t posted anything new, you can still participate each week by choosing a post from the past that fits the week’s theme.

Every week, we share your posts on our Homeschool Mother’s Journal Pinterest board and Facebook page, and we tweet them out to our audience as well. We will be using the hashtag #homeschoolmothersjournal when we share your posts on our social media channels, and we invite you to use this hashtag as you post throughout the week as well — especially if you tweet or use Instagram to share. We will search for new posts using #homeschoolmothersjournal and share them with our followers as well!

We’d love to see YOU post questions and interact with other moms in our Homeschool Mother’s Journal community when you’re on social media.

“What’s Working” at NextGen Homeschool this week:

Why a Daily Homeschool Routine Works for Us — One of the most common questions I get from new and prospective homeschoolers is how to schedule your homeschool day. What I’ve learned over the past six years of homeschooling my three daughters is that having a weekday routine, not a fixed schedule, allows us to be productive and flexible. Read the full post for details on what that daily routine looks like.

Join us by sharing your “What’s Working” blog posts below and reading what other homeschooling mamas are sharing this week!
